‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Director Says Dragons Now Airplane-Size

Game of Thrones fans never lack for dragon appreciation, but there are diminishing returns to their escalation in size, and difficulty to portray onscreen. Leave it to Season 7 to make them even bigger, now estimating Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal to be the size of commercial jets.

First-time Game of Thrones director and Always Sunny vet Matt Shankman shared the tidbit with Entertainment Weekly, albeit without specifying how (or where) Daenerys might use her now airplane-sized babies. Worth noting, EW lists the airplane size with a 210' wingspan, while you-know-who had the biggest growth spurt:

The dragons this year are the size of 747s. Drogon is the biggest of the bunch — his flame is 30-feet in diameter!
